ujāle apnī yādoñ ke hamāre saath rahne do

na jaane kis galī meñ zindagī shaam ho jaa.e

ujale apni yaadon ke hamare sath rahne do

na jaane kis gali mein zindagi ki sham ho jae

dushmanī jam kar karo lekin ye gunjā.ish rahe

jab kabhī ham dost ho jaa.eñ to sharminda na hoñ

bear enmity with all your might, but this we should decide

if ever we be friends again, we are not mortified

dushmani jam kar karo lekin ye gunjaish rahe

jab kabhi hum dost ho jaen to sharminda na hon

bear enmity with all your might, but this we should decide

if ever we be friends again, we are not mortified

kuchh to majbūriyāñ rahī hoñgī

yuuñ koī bevafā nahīñ hotā

she would have had compulsions surely

faithless without cause no one can be

In this couplet, the speaker softens a painful truth: if someone became unfaithful or left, there must have been some compulsion or helpless circumstance behind it. The line “Yun koi bewafa nahin hota” is not a factual claim so much as an emotional stance refusing to reduce a complex human act to sheer cruelty. It carries empathy and self-protection at once: the lover tries to preserve the beloved’s dignity (and their own love) by imagining unavoidable pressures rather than deliberate betrayal.

yun koi bewafa nahin hota

na bhar ke dekhā na kuchh baat

baḌī aarzū thī mulāqāt

na ji bhar ke dekha na kuchh baat ki

baDi aarzu thi mulaqat ki

ham bhī dariyā haiñ hameñ apnā hunar mālūm hai

jis taraf bhī chal paḌeñge rāsta ho jā.egā

hum bhi dariya hain hamein apna hunar malum hai

jis taraf bhi chal paDenge rasta ho jaega
